On the way down
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Teamspirit - people helping and supporting each other.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
It seems working conditions were deliberately worsened to make employees leave voluntarily.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Change strategy. Value your employees again. Change Upper Management.
Implement new and better software to replace outdated and time consuming manual work steps; update/adapt them when gaps are identified.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Drastically decreased over the past months. After plans to outsource positions to India were became public (through news feed in the intranet, not by management communication!) and benefits and home office were cut, the atmosphere tanked. People are afraid losing their jobs.
Image
From the outside it still seems to have a good reputation. On the inside it looks different.
Work-Life-Balance
Home office and work from other countries was completely eliminated. Workload is so high that people work late at night, on weekends and during vacation.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Easier to look outside because internally there is hardly any career progress possible.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Within the teams and also between teams it's usually good.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Direct managers and team leaders are mostly ok (depends individually). They usually suffer the same problems. Higher management is detached from the working reality. Problems like workload get ignored.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Software systems are old and complex, not helping. A lot of manual work needed. Workload is way too high. As a result quality is suffering. Projects get delayed. People go in burn-out or leave.
Kommunikation
Communication from upper management is awful. Communication and collaboration between sites is really difficult. Every site has their own processes.
Gehalt/Benefits
Lower than other pharma companies in Switzerland.
Interessante Aufgaben
Much micromanagement, individual responsibility and freedom is mostly not possible.
